milliequivelent values, end spring flow measurement reports ere presented in Appendix 7.5. • Detailed information regarding the Toast spring monitoring network and baseline monitoring efforts can be found on Table 75-2 in Tab 15, Hydrologic Monitoring Program. Exhibit 7-7 (Hydrologic Monitoring Sites) depicts the locations of all spring monitoring sites. The physical characteristics of the ten Yoast spring monitoring sites very. Springs YSPGS, TSPG7, and YSPGB ere monitored et smell stock ponds constructed below each spring to collect and temporarily store the diffuse seepage of ground water from each spring source. Discharge from Spring YSPG2 is monitored a short distance downgredient at surface water Site YS 53. YSPG1 has been inundated by the construction of Pond Y7 and no baseline monitoring was conducted at this site (see Exhibit 7-1). Springs TSPG3 end YSPG6 both have been developed end have discharge points from which samples and flow measurements ere collected. Both TSPG4 and YSPGS have no pond or spring development structures installed, end discharges from both ere diffuse when occurring. Spring YSPG10 is actually an artesian well which is monitored when flowing, usually in the spring. Smring Dischara e. Appendix 7-5 includes tabular listings of discharge measurements end • pertinent field remarks documented while monitoring each spring during the baseline period. Field remarks included on each tabular report provide further insight into the nature of spring flow at each site monitored. Springs YSPGS, YSPG4, and YSPGS are located on the Sage Creek side of the Yoast mining area (see Exhibit 7-1). Instantaneous flow measurements at Spring YSPGS varied from .3 gallons per minute (gpm) up to 5 gpm. This spring generally flows during the spring and early summer, end dissipates before the onset of fell. In 1993, however, slightly higher flow was observed in August (approximately 1.3 gpm) then June (.85 gpm). Flow measurements et YSPG4 ranged from .1G gpm to more then 75 gpm. Monitoring at YSPG4 suggests perennial flow, although during the winter, ice end snow may prevent flow from occurring. Similar to YSPGS, flow at YSPG4 is highest during the spring following snowmelt, lessening ac the seasons progress toward winter. Spring YSPGS is comprised of a small stock pond, end since monitoring began in June 1991, no measurable flow into or out of the pond was noted. Springs TSPGb, TSPC7, YSPGB, YSPGS, and TSPG10 ell are located within the Annend Drew • basin (see Exhibit 7.1). Of these, TSPG6 exhibits the greatest persistence, ea some flow has been measured et this spring during every monitoring visit, ranging from .38 gpm up to 93 gpm.
